Nurturing their own breed of trap-influenced metalcore, the World I Knew flex hard with “Hypenation,” boasting unapologetic spitfire bars and riveting instrumentals. The band carefully mix and balance the specialities of both genres and execute their vision with sheer precision and audacity. - Alt Press
Cincinnati-based trap metalcore quintet The World I Knew are back with their distinct and unapologetic sound in the form of the new single “Hypenation.” The turbulent track is a flex on the band’s fair-weather fans as vocalist Wesley Merritt raps and growls over a lo-fi beat, heavy riffs and galloping kick drums.
“It’s a fuck you to everyone who doesn’t support us and a last call for anyone who still wants to because we dont do that bandwagon shit,” says vocalist Wesley Merritt.
Directed by Vince Lundi, “Hypenation” follows-up the band’s last single “Piecefull.
The World I Knew have been striving to create music without boundaries or limitations since their formation in 2014 and the release of their debut single “Fuck a 9-5.” The group’s uncanny ability to seamlessly engage with audiences across the punk/metal/rap/rock scene makes them an attractive group to follow in 2019. - High Road Publicity
